We never had a pet growing up, but as soon as I left college and got my own apartment, I more than made up for it. Cats, dogs, ferrets, rabbits, birds. I have enjoyed and loved them all, and have learned so much about myself, nature and life from them. They have distinct personalities, they have keen senses of humor, they think, they feel, they are self aware, they love, they have souls. People who have pets live longer, healthier, happier lives. They are so much more attuned to the world around us than we are. They understand language. They are not children, but they are members of the family. And our lives are richer for having them.
